Hood River Memorial Hospital open
house scheduled this week in 1955
1915 — 100 years ago
The freeze that struck the
valley Friday night did
great damage to the fruit
blossoms. It has been esti-
mated that the strawberry
yield will be cut down prob-
ably one-fourth. Among the
apples the Winter Banana,
Spitz, Ortley, Jonathan and
probably other varieties
have been seriously affect-
ed. The D’Anjou may have
escaped with the Bartlett,
on account of blooming ear-
lier, but the Winter Nellis
was probably nipped in
most places. This warning
may prompt the demand for
orchard heaters in the fu-
ture.
Announcement was made
by the post office depart-
m e n t t h i s we e k t h a t a
fourth R.ED. route will be
established here, the ser-
vice beginning on the six-
teenth of next month. This
carrier will serve 265 fami-
lies and the route will cover
25 miles. His salary will be
$1200, the same as the pre-
sent carriers receive. The
new route will extend out
on the West Side to Tucker’s
bridge and thence south of
Odell to Dukes Valley.
1925 — 90 years ago
During the past eight
years the kilowatt hours of
substation electrical output
of the Pacific Power & Light
Company for Hood River
have practically doubled.
This information was con-
tained in a statement which
was given to this paper dur-
ing the week by Lewis A.
Arthur, of Portland, vice-
president and general man-
ager of the power company.
The exact figures covering
the kilowatt hour output on
the Hood River feeders are
as follows: 1917, 1,407,900;
1920, 1,739,640; and 1924,
2,734,502.
The four hundred Port-
land businessmen who, last
year, endeavored to per-
suade the officials of the
Parkdale Strawberry Festi-
val to postpone their affair
as it was seriously interfer-
ing with the success of the
Rose Festival are using dif-
ferent tactics this year.
They have, and correctly,
sensed the magnitude of
the Parkdale constellation
and are now engaged in a
drive to raise the gigantic
sum of $250,000 to combat
the inroads the Parkdale
will sign up for six months,
should present themselves
at the earliest moment to
the Relief of fice in the
Franz building and register.
At the end of six months, if
they so desire, they will be
eligible to sign up two more
periods of six months each,
making 18 months in all.
The age limits are 18 to 28
inclusive.

River County can apply for
their home canning sugar
beginning May 15, states W.
J. Bryan, chairman of Hood
River War Price and Ra-
tioning Board. “Applica-
tions may be submitted to
the board in person, but
since it will not be possible
to act on them immediately,
it is suggested, to save time
for both housewife and the
board, that they be mailed,”
says Bryan. Applications
forms may be obtained at
the board office, located
over the First National
Bank on Oak Street.

A utility’s nightmare was
just about over this week,
but not before it caused
Hood River Electric Co-op-
erative manager Willard
Johnson a few sleepless
nights. It all started when a
helicopter slammed into
Bonneville Power Adminis-
tration lines that fed the
bulk of the co-op area. Al-
most immediately, calls
came in from customers
whose homes were blacked
out. It ended up lasting 34-
1/2 hours.
Voters gave solid backing
to the Hood River County
school budget when they
passed a tax levy here Mon-
day by nearly a 2-1 margin.
School board members
made the official canvass
Tuesday, and confirmed to-
tals of 737 “yes” and 371
“no” votes on exceeding the
six per cent requested
amount.

MAY 6, 1955: Anti-polio vaccine for Hood River County first and
second graders is being handed to Sheriff Rupert Gillmouthe by
Cadet 2nd Lieutenant Norma Sloat of the Vancouver civil air patrol

“The Lost Lake Road is
now open for automobile
travel as far south as the
forest boundary, but it is
now tough going from there
on,” said Alva Day, when he
arrived home Sunday after
a trip into the lake with
Allen Stansell. The two

first in to the lake this
spring, had to forgo their
claim when they found that
Bud Hatfield, Bill Lassen,

Official authorization
from the Civil Aeronau-
tics Administration for
the new airport south of
Hood River was received
here last week and the
field is to be used for both
student and private fly-
ing, as provided for under
existing war-time restric-
tions.
This field is sponsored
by the Hood River Flight
of the Civil Air Patrol, an
auxiliary of the Army
Air Forces, and most of
the work has been done
by m e m b e r s o f t h i s
group.
Classes in aeronautics,
including most of the in-
formation necessary for
private flying license, are
held at the Hood River
high school every Tues-
day evening at 8 p.m. Any-
one interested in these
courses should contact
Bill Perry, Flight Leader,
or attend a meeting. Girls
and boys 15, 16 and 17
years of age are especial-
ly urged to investigate the
program offered by the
local C.A.P.
This program for avia-
tion in Hood River is in
line with the overall pro-
gram of the Army Air
Forces as outlined by
General H.H. Ar nold,
Commanding General,
who has made the follow-
ing statement: “We are
earning our leadership

not intend to relinquish
it. That is where our
young people — young

boys and girls — come in.

of them, with indispens-
able training in aviation.
“Those young people
will not have to start from
scratch. They — and we
must increase their num-
bers from tens of thou-
sands to millions — will
form a new pool of expe-
rience, both military and
commercial. As they
come to maturity, Ameri-
can air power too will
come of age and that com-
ing of age will be our best
guarantee, not only of the
leadership in the air, but
of our very existence as a
sovereign nation.”
